Flights to Norddeich, Norden from NT$30,980

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Norddeich escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Norddeich, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
