Flights to Calci, Tuscany from NT$13,189

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

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Calci quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
