Flights to Fonte, Veneto from NT$24,925

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Fonte.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fonte, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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 devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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.
