Flights to San Cassiano, Badia from NT$39,350

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in San Cassiano in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out San Cassiano, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
