Flights to Maria Lanzendorf, Lower Austria from NT$6,489

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Maria Lanzendorf.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Maria Lanzendorf a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with 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're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
