Flights to Britz, Brandenburg Region from NT$7,387

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Britz escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Britz in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
