Flights to Geising, Altenberg from NT$22,320

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Geising vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Geising before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
