Flights to Sorianello, Calabria from NT$10,868

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sorianello vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Sorianello a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
