Flights to Capena, Lazio from NT$8,768

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Capena escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Capena a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
