Flights to Cinigiano, Tuscany from NT$21,097

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cinigiano could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take 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 flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cinigiano in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
