Flights to Weinboehla, Saxony from NT$29,841

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Weinboehla.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Weinboehla a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
