Cheap Flights to Ebensee from HK$1,115

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Ebensee. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Ebensee, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
