Flights to Iz, Zadar from NT$5,836

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Iz could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Iz a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
