Flights to Gemuenden, Bavaria from NT$20,234

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gemuenden vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Gemuenden, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
