Flights to Geinberg, Upper Austria from NT$4,563

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Geinberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Geinberg a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
