Flights to Tauer, Brandenburg Region from NT$4,315

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tauer could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some 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 pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tauer a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be 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 a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
