Flights to Bad Bertrich, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$5,599

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Bad Bertrich escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bad Bertrich, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
