Cheap Flights to Matrei am Brenner from HK$366

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Matrei am Brenner holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Matrei am Brenner, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
