Flights to Aue, Aue-Bad Schlema from NT$25,225

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Aue could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Aue in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
