Flights to Gardola, Tignale from NT$11,700

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gardola could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Gardola a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
