Flights to Griesingen, Baden-Württemberg from NT$21,900

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Griesingen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Griesingen easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
