Flights to Vrhnika, Slovenia from NT$27,702

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Vrhnika. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Vrhnika quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
