Flights to Isola del Liri, Lazio from NT$9,113

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your vacation in Isola del Liri.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Isola del Liri before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
