Flights to Bad Mitterndorf, Styria from NT$13,628

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bad Mitterndorf vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Bad Mitterndorf, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
