Flights to Casarano, Puglia from NT$36,807

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Casarano escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Casarano, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
