Flights to Seewiesen, Turnau from NT$9,264

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Seewiesen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Seewiesen easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
