Flights to Reisbach, Bavaria from NT$8,653

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Reisbach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Reisbach, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
