Flights to Carnago, Lombardy from NT$11,814

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Carnago could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Carnago, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
