Flights to Sinj, Split-Dalmatia from NT$5,616

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Sinj escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

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

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
