Flights to Waxweiler, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$4,975

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Waxweiler.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Waxweiler in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
