Flights to Abtswind, Bavaria from NT$18,671

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Abtswind vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Abtswind, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
