Flights to Parabita, Puglia from NT$10,202

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Parabita in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Parabita in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
