Flights to Dancanje, Ston from NT$24,140

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Dancanje.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Dancanje, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
