Flights to Dogliola, Abruzzo from NT$2,381

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Dogliola could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended 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.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Dogliola, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
