Flights to Romita, Barberino Tavarnelle from NT$8,848

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Romita vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Romita, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
