Flights to Aufsess, Bavaria from NT$17,379

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Aufsess escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Aufsess a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
