We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Maria Alm am Steinernen Meer in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Maria Alm am Steinernen Meer in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
