Flights to Skogome, Gothenburg from NT$6,895

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Skogome could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Skogome, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
