Flights to Muerzzuschlag, Styria from NT$11,492

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Muerzzuschlag escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Muerzzuschlag in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
