Flights to Skanderborg, Midtjylland from NT$4,952

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Skanderborg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Skanderborg, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must 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 clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
