Flights to Ebenfurth, Lower Austria from NT$5,270

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Ebenfurth vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ebenfurth in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
