Flights to Kappeln, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$5,975

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Kappeln escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kappeln, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
