Flights to Geiselwind, Bavaria from NT$24,079

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Geiselwind escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Geiselwind easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever 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.
