Flights to Dello, Lombardy from NT$24,606

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Dello escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dello in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
