Flights to Tittling, Bavaria from NT$8,009

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Tittling vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tittling in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
