Flights to Bisegna, Abruzzo from NT$4,677

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Bisegna.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Bisegna quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
