Flights to Rauma, Satakunta from NT$46,690

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

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rauma in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
