Flights to Enzersfeld, Lower Austria from NT$6,606

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Enzersfeld escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable 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:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Enzersfeld a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
