If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Ternitz.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Ternitz easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
