Flights to Buttigliera d'Asti, Piedmont from NT$17,386

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Buttigliera d'Asti could be as easy as pie 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, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Buttigliera d'Asti, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
