Flights to Svencionys, Vilnius County from NT$6,693

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Svencionys. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a 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 fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Svencionys before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
