Flights to Untergriesbach, Bavaria from NT$6,154

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Untergriesbach escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Untergriesbach, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
