Flights to Pritzwalk, Brandenburg Region from NT$4,074

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Pritzwalk.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Pritzwalk, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
