Flights to Wackersdorf, Bavaria from NT$24,074

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Wackersdorf.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Wackersdorf, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
