Flights to Rieti, Lazio from NT$9,887

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Rieti vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rieti in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single 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 sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
