Flights to Lage, North Rhine-Westphalia from NT$10,003

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Lage escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Lage, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
