Flights to Strausberg, Brandenburg Region from NT$2,534

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Strausberg vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Strausberg in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
