Flights to Sedilo, Sardinia from NT$21,479

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Sedilo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Sedilo, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• 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.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? 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're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
