Flights to Cassaro, Sicily from NT$5,765

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cassaro could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Cassaro, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
