Flights to Chiaramonti, Sardinia from NT$15,263

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Chiaramonti before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Chiaramonti, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
