Flights to Nozza, Vestone from NT$3,188

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nozza could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Nozza a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
