Flights to Mili, Argos-Mykines from NT$5,288

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mili could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids 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. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Mili easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
