Flights to Isili, Sardinia from NT$52,386

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Isili could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Isili quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
