Flights to Berg, Bavaria from NT$7,074

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Berg could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• 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 lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Berg a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
