Flights to Gruenburg, Upper Austria from NT$31,309

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Gruenburg vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gruenburg before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
