Flights to Sgonico, Friuli Venezia Giulia from NT$30,216

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sgonico could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Sgonico quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
