Flights to Bad Haering, Tyrol from NT$4,563

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Bad Haering.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bad Haering before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
