Flights to Longare, Veneto from NT$17,148

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Longare.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Longare in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
