Flights to Pimonte, Campania from NT$5,092

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pimonte could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pimonte in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
