Flights to Oprtalj, Istria County from NT$75,130

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Oprtalj could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below 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:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Oprtalj a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• 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.
