We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Schwanstetten in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Schwanstetten a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container 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 chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
