Flights to Sorrento, British Columbia from NT$24,065

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Sorrento vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Sorrento, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
