Flights to Bruno, Piedmont from NT$3,103

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Bruno. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Bruno easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
