Flights to Luttenberg, Overijssel from NT$17,378

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Luttenberg escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Luttenberg, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
