Flights to Cassano Spinola, Piedmont from NT$23,610

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Cassano Spinola.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put 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) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Cassano Spinola a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
