Flights to Santa Giulia, Porto Tolle from NT$19,024

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Santa Giulia could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Santa Giulia in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
