Flights to Cecina, Larciano from NT$8,002

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Cecina escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cecina in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
