Cheap Flights to Erzberg from CA $130

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Erzberg vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Erzberg, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
