Flights to Hausen, Bavaria from NT$5,475

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Hausen in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hausen in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
