Flights to Hohenbrunn, Munich from NT$8,892

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Hohenbrunn escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Hohenbrunn easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
