Flights to Foiano della Chiana, Tuscany from NT$27,213

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Foiano della Chiana escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave 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:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Foiano della Chiana easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
