Flights to Hungen, Hessen from NT$17,492

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will get your Hungen escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Hungen a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
