Flights to Öhringen, Baden-Württemberg from NT$7,189

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Öhringen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Öhringen quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
