Flights to Canale, Piedmont from NT$27,923

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Canale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Canale quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
