Flights to Montappone, Marche from NT$40,019

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Montappone escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Montappone in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
