Flights to Dragor, Copenhagen from NT$3,435

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Dragor. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Dragor quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
