Flights to Spianate, Altopascio from NT$7,243

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Spianate could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Spianate in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually 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 luggage.
