Flights to Kalkhorst, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania from NT$4,213

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kalkhorst could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Kalkhorst easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, 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. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
