Flights to Ritsem, Kiruna from NT$35,491

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Ritsem escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ritsem before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
