Flights to Brammer, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$31,285

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Brammer escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Brammer in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
