We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Mauthausen in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mauthausen before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
