Flights to Schleswig, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$4,978

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Schleswig could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Schleswig in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. 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.
• 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.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
