Flights to Porcari, Tuscany from NT$5,842

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Porcari escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Porcari in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
