Flights to Roncadelle, Lombardy from NT$9,228

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Roncadelle escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Roncadelle, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
