Flights to Tivoli, Lazio from NT$15,961

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Tivoli escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Tivoli, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
