Flights to Waidhofen an der Thaya, Lower Austria from NT$6,535

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Waidhofen an der Thaya.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Waidhofen an der Thaya in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
