Flights to Pocking, Bavaria from NT$9,349

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Pocking vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pocking in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
