Flights to Palata, Molise from NT$2,891

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Palata escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Palata a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
