If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Sankt Pantaleon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Sankt Pantaleon quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
