Flights to Lienz, Tyrol from NT$8,753

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Lienz.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Lienz easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
