Flights to Locate di Triulzi, Milan from NT$18,106

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Locate di Triulzi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Locate di Triulzi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
