Flights to Panza, Forio from NT$5,540

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Panza could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Panza easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
