Flights to Corsico, Milan from NT$16,914

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Corsico in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Corsico, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
