Flights to Sahlenburg, Cuxhaven from NT$5,829

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sahlenburg could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sahlenburg in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
