Flights to Stegen, Baden-Württemberg from NT$9,186

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Stegen.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Stegen, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
