Flights to Schechen, Bavaria from NT$8,892

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Schechen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Schechen quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
