Flights to Vienna, Louisiana from NT$58,366

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Vienna in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Vienna, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
