Flights to Cappella Maggiore, Veneto from NT$16,728

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cappella Maggiore could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Cappella Maggiore, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart 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 suitcase.
