Flights to Tosi, Reggello from NT$35,495

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Tosi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. 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, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tosi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must 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 coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
