Flights to Fornacette, Calcinaia from NT$30,413

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Fornacette. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Fornacette easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
