Flights to Markersdorf, Saxony from NT$9,126

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Markersdorf escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Markersdorf in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
