Flights to Groemitz, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$4,204

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Groemitz vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Groemitz, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
