Flights to Ingria, Piedmont from NT$15,436

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Ingria vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ingria before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
