Flights to Oberweis, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$10,160

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Oberweis vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Oberweis, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
