Flights to Gallipoli, Puglia from NT$15,992

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gallipoli could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Gallipoli, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
