Flights to Vetulonia, Castiglione della Pescaia from NT$8,753

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Vetulonia vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Vetulonia easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
