Flights to Isona, Isona i Conca Della from NT$16,313

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Isona. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Isona, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
