Flights to Peschici, Puglia from NT$8,329

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Peschici.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Peschici, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? 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-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
