Flights to Cavtat Old Town, Konavle from NT$4,455

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Cavtat Old Town vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Cavtat Old Town, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
