Flights to Parodi Ligure, Piedmont from NT$26,342

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Parodi Ligure.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Parodi Ligure a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
