Flights to Attendorf, Hitzendorf from NT$30,603

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Attendorf.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Attendorf easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
