Flights to Marasi, Vrsar from NT$50,600

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Marasi could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Marasi, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
