Flights to Despetal, Hannover from NT$11,535

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Despetal escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Despetal a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
