Flights to Rocca Imperiale, Calabria from NT$6,150

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rocca Imperiale could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rocca Imperiale in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
