Flights to Waldkraiburg, Bavaria from NT$5,265

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Waldkraiburg vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Waldkraiburg easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
