Flights to Camino, Piedmont from NT$7,577

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Camino. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Camino, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
