Flights to Siculiana, Sicily from NT$3,226

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Siculiana in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Siculiana a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
