Flights to Lappersdorf, Bavaria from NT$16,598

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more 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 your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lappersdorf, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
