Flights to Maurach, Eben am Achensee from NT$32,012

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Maurach vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited 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:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Maurach before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
