Flights to Lavinio Lido di Enea, Anzio from NT$5,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lavinio Lido di Enea could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lavinio Lido di Enea in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
