Flights to Crikvenica, Primorje-Gorski Kotar from NT$5,327

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Crikvenica could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Crikvenica, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• 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 sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
