Flights to Ollen, Bremen from NT$8,978

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Ollen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality 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 perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ollen before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
