Flights to Librari, Torricella from NT$22,037

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Librari vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Librari in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
