Flights to Panzendorf, Heinfels from NT$3,968

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Panzendorf escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Panzendorf in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
