Flights to Hvalfjarðarsveit, Western Region from NT$5,848

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Hvalfjarðarsveit vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Hvalfjarðarsveit, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
