Flights to Lassee, Lower Austria from NT$8,356

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Lassee.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Lassee, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
