Flights to Furci, Abruzzo from NT$26,092

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Furci could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Furci a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
