Flights to Tobia, Caprarola from NT$6,848

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tobia could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tobia in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
