Flights to Fulda, Hessen from NT$8,113

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fulda could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Fulda a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
