Flights to Longobucco, Calabria from NT$35,277

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Longobucco could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Longobucco quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent 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 item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
