If the verb represents a movement, then "sein" should be used. Otherwise "habe". e.g. angekommen sein gegangen sein gefahren sein gefliegen sein gelaufen sein aus/eingestiegen sein And if there are some verbs that are not directly a movement, but stand for a change of some states, "sein" should also be used here. e.g. einschlafen: from awake to asleep ----> eingeschlafen sein.
