Flights to Baucina, Sicily from NT$2,578

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Baucina could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Baucina, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• 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 headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
