Flights to Mistelbach, Lower Austria from NT$6,425

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Mistelbach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mistelbach a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
