Flights to Martinsicuro, Abruzzo from NT$8,128

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Martinsicuro could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Martinsicuro, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
