Flights to Ursensollen, Bavaria from NT$5,616

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips that will get your Ursensollen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Ursensollen a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container 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.
• 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.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
