Flights to Tor San Lorenzo, Ardea from NT$8,055

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Tor San Lorenzo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tor San Lorenzo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
