Flights to Cori, Lazio from NT$3,706

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Cori. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols 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 aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Cori, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
