Cheap Flights to Bad Aussee from HK$262

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Bad Aussee holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bad Aussee a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
