Flights to Olsted, Hovedstaden from NT$3,895

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Olsted could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Olsted, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
