Flights to Koenigstein, Saxony from NT$9,770

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Koenigstein could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Koenigstein a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
