Flights to Bischofsheim, Hessen from NT$17,408

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Bischofsheim. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Bischofsheim, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
