Flights to Dermbach, Thuringia from NT$21,118

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Dermbach escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, 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 key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dermbach in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 on board and will be confiscated.
