Flights to Dorfen, Bavaria from NT$3,552

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dorfen could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Dorfen easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
