Flights to Manheim, Paige from NT$8,675

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Manheim could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Manheim a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
