Flights to Cesena, Emilia-Romagna from NT$9,340

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Cesena vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cesena in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
