Flights to Mirandola, Emilia-Romagna from NT$29,168

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Mirandola before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mirandola in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
