Flights to Lavagna, Liguria from NT$40,295

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Lavagna before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Lavagna a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
