Flights to Amerang, Bavaria from NT$4,022

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Amerang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Amerang in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
