Flights to Casale Litta, Lombardy from NT$2,895

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Casale Litta could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Casale Litta quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
