Flights to Viu, Turin from NT$7,870

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Viu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Viu easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
