Flights to Crespignaga, Maser from NT$8,870

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Crespignaga could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Crespignaga a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
