Flights to Hellbühl, Ruswil from NT$18,172

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Hellbühl. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Hellbühl a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
