Flights to Kruen, Bavaria from NT$5,041

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Kruen vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Kruen, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
