Flights to Daiting, Bavaria from NT$4,407

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

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Daiting quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
