Flights to Melby, Hovedstaden from NT$3,942

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Melby vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare 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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Melby a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
