Flights to Wilster, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$5,854

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

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Wilster a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
