Flights to Sassofeltrio, Emilia-Romagna from NT$68,838

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Sassofeltrio. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sassofeltrio in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
