Flights to Rust, Burgenland from NT$7,231

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Rust. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rust in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
