Flights to Abbadia Lariana, Lombardy from NT$14,438

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Abbadia Lariana vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Abbadia Lariana a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
