Flights to Verona, Veneto from NT$4,409

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Verona.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Verona in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
