Flights to Battenberg, Hessen from NT$6,828

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Battenberg could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Battenberg, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
