Flights to Mengara, Gubbio from NT$56,037

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Mengara vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mengara a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
