Flights to Brisighella, Emilia-Romagna from NT$6,996

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Brisighella.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Brisighella, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
