Flights to Wintzenheim, Grand Est from NT$4,584

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Wintzenheim. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Wintzenheim, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
