Flights to Cala d'Oliva, Porto Torres from NT$32,457

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Cala d'Oliva vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Cala d'Oliva quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
