Flights to Springe, Hannover from NT$9,386

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Springe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Springe before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
