Flights to Michelstadt, Hessen from NT$4,058

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Michelstadt could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Michelstadt in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
