Flights to Borgo Chiese, Trentino-Alto Adige from NT$21,224

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Borgo Chiese vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Borgo Chiese in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
