Flights to Dipignano, Calabria from NT$23,350

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Dipignano vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dipignano before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
