Flights to Wittighausen, Baden-Württemberg from NT$7,172

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Wittighausen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wittighausen in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
