RM2,122 Cheap Flights to Franken

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Franken.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Franken quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
