Flights to Ernstbrunn, Lower Austria from NT$6,758

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Ernstbrunn escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Ernstbrunn easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
