Flights to Claviere, Piedmont from NT$8,244

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Claviere in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Claviere before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
