Flights to Hastiere, Walloon Region from NT$6,310

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Hastiere escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hastiere in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• 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 are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
