Flights to Orio Litta, Lombardy from NT$3,879

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Orio Litta vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Orio Litta a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
