Flights to Wendorf, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania from NT$6,363

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Wendorf escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wendorf in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
