Flights to Hvar, Split-Dalmatia from NT$3,952

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Hvar vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Hvar, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
