Flights to Heine, Bremen from NT$29,528

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Heine vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, 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:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Heine, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
