Flights to Viggja, Skaun from NT$46,335

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Viggja could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Viggja, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
