Flights to Celle, Lower Saxony from NT$5,156

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Celle. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Celle in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
