Flights to San Giuseppe Jato, Sicily from NT$2,449

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Giuseppe Jato could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Giuseppe Jato in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
