Flights to San Gavino Monreale, Sardinia from NT$9,532

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

• Flying can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to San Gavino Monreale easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on 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 such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 luggage.
