Flights to Lakmartin, Krk from NT$4,002

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Lakmartin escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Lakmartin easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
