If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Emmersdorf an der Donau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Emmersdorf an der Donau easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
