Flights to Mirandola, Emilia-Romagna from NT$8,006

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Mirandola escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mirandola in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
