Flights to Burghaun, Hessen from NT$16,250

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Burghaun escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Burghaun in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
