Flights to San Vero Milis, Sardinia from NT$8,496

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your San Vero Milis escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to San Vero Milis a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along 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 clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
