Flights to Braunfels, Hessen from NT$4,377

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Braunfels escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Braunfels, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
