Flights to Sulzberg, Vorarlberg from NT$29,124

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Sulzberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Sulzberg a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
