Flights to Castrocielo, Lazio from NT$10,716

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Castrocielo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Castrocielo in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
