Flights to Rende, Calabria from NT$70,185

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Rende before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Rende, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
