Flights to Arre, Veneto from NT$7,163

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Arre. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Arre before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
