Flights to Erula, Sardinia from NT$4,262

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Erula could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Erula easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
