Flights to Rumo, Trentino-Alto Adige from NT$4,780

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Rumo vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rumo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
