Flights to Rotenburg, Lower Saxony from NT$4,838

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Rotenburg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Rotenburg, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
