Flights to Zandt, Bavaria from NT$14,097

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Zandt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Zandt a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
