Flights to Castel dell’Aquila, Montecastrilli from NT$2,847

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castel dell'Aquila could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Castel dell'Aquila a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
