Flights to Porano, Umbria from NT$14,539

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Porano before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, 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. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
