Cheap Flights to Maria Neustift from HK$351

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Maria Neustift in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Maria Neustift in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
