Flights to Pregnana Milanese, Milan from NT$2,925

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Pregnana Milanese vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pregnana Milanese in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
