Flights to Wettmannstätten, Styria from NT$4,512

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Wettmannstätten vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wettmannstätten in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
