Flights to Dachtel, Aidlingen from NT$4,199

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Dachtel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A 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. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dachtel in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
