Flights to Kihnio, Pirkanmaa from NT$48,385

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kihnio could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kihnio before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices 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 in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
