Flights to Reit im Winkl, Bavaria from NT$6,506

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Reit im Winkl. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Reit im Winkl a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
