Flights to Roio del Sangro, Abruzzo from NT$23,396

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Roio del Sangro could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Roio del Sangro in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
