Flights to Trino, Piedmont from NT$15,492

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Trino could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Trino, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
