Flights to Manjadvorci, Barban from NT$50,600

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Manjadvorci. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Manjadvorci in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
