Flights to Molino Nuovo, Avegno from NT$31,065

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Molino Nuovo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Molino Nuovo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
