Flights to Brugnera, Friuli Venezia Giulia from NT$18,989

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brugnera could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Brugnera in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be 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 a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
