Flights to Hummeltal, Bavaria from NT$16,777

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Hummeltal escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Hummeltal a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will 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 belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
