Cheap Flights to Plauen

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Plauen in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Plauen quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers 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, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
