Flights to Asendorf, Lower Saxony from NT$18,442

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Asendorf vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Asendorf in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
