Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Steinach am Brenner escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Steinach am Brenner in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
