Flights to Komin, Ploce from NT$4,430

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Komin could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Komin a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your coat, 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 your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
