Flights to Thuine, Lower Saxony from NT$40,928

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Thuine vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Thuine easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
