Flights to Floresta, Sicily from NT$8,876

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Floresta in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Floresta a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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.
• 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.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
