Flights to Tinnura, Sardinia from NT$8,048

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tinnura could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. 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 treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Tinnura easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
