Flights to Rastovac, Zagvozd from NT$29,547

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Rastovac before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rastovac in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
