Flights to Bellenberg, Bavaria from NT$19,255

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bellenberg could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels 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 best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Bellenberg, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
