Flights to Komen, Slovenia from NT$9,220

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Komen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Komen a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container 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 asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
