Flights to Vechta, Lower Saxony from NT$8,804

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vechta could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vechta in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need 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 separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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.
