Flights to Cocciglia, Bagni di Lucca from NT$29,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cocciglia could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Cocciglia quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
