Flights to Blagaj, Mostar from NT$8,810

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Blagaj.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Blagaj in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
