Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Krems an der Donau could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans 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. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Krems an der Donau, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
