Flights to Adelshofen, Bavaria from NT$24,110

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Adelshofen vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Adelshofen a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
