Flights to Guggenberg, Matrei in Osttirol from NT$28,328

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Guggenberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Guggenberg easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
