Flights to San Vito, Sardinia from NT$32,968

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your San Vito escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to San Vito a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
