Flights to Perg, Upper Austria from NT$47,422

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

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Perg easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
