Flights to Kukës, Kukës County from NT$6,815

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Kukës escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Kukës a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
