Flights to Buia, Friuli Venezia Giulia from NT$10,585

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Buia could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Buia a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• 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-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
