Flights to Vicoforte, Vicoforte from NT$29,342

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vicoforte could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Vicoforte quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
