Cheap Flights to Chemnitz

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Chemnitz holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Chemnitz easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 on board.
