Flights to Valdisotto, Lombardy from NT$9,319

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Valdisotto vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Valdisotto a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
