Flights to Molfetta, Puglia from NT$5,476

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Molfetta escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Molfetta quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
