Flights to Prager Strasse, Dresden from NT$12,240

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Prager Strasse escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Prager Strasse, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
