Flights to Faedis, Friuli Venezia Giulia from NT$33,140

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Faedis could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Faedis, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
