Flights to Vig, Sjælland from NT$5,174

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Vig. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Vig a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
