Flights to Agnesberg, Gothenburg from NT$10,456

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Agnesberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Agnesberg, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
