Flights to Preone, Friuli Venezia Giulia from NT$7,750

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Preone could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Preone easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
