Flights to Bad Sachsa, Lower Saxony from NT$27,058

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Bad Sachsa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bad Sachsa, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
