Flights to Caulonia, Calabria from NT$48,089

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Caulonia escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Caulonia a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
