Flights to Haigerloch, Baden-Württemberg from NT$4,846

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Haigerloch escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, 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:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Haigerloch before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
