Flights to Apricale, Liguria from NT$21,817

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Apricale could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Apricale, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
