Flights to Seedorf, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$4,323

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Seedorf escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Seedorf quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy 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 coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
