Flights to Krkavče, Koper from NT$4,357

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Krkavče. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Krkavče a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
