Flights to Hasel, Baden-Württemberg from NT$35,686

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Hasel escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Hasel, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
