Flights to Engelsviken, Fredrikstad from NT$7,635

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Engelsviken could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change 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 your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Engelsviken in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger 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 need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
