Flights to Posto Vecchio, Salve from NT$43,469

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Posto Vecchio escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Posto Vecchio in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items 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 might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
