Flights to Marburg, Hessen from NT$8,452

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Marburg could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• 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 and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Marburg, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go 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, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
