Flights to Kupres, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from NT$4,245

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Kupres.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Kupres a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
