Flights to Cista Provo, Split-Dalmatia from NT$29,290

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cista Provo could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

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

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cista Provo before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
