Flights to Untermerzbach, Bavaria from NT$8,373

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Untermerzbach vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Untermerzbach in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
