Flights to Wildeck, Hessen from NT$11,128

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Wildeck vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Wildeck, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
