Flights to Berlin, Eskilstuna from NT$6,664

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Berlin before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Berlin, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
