Flights to Ihrlerstein, Bavaria from NT$4,840

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ihrlerstein vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Ihrlerstein, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• 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 in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? 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, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
