Flights to Havidic Selo, Zagreb from NT$5,386

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Havidic Selo could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• 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 or tights.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Havidic Selo a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
