Flights to Curno, Lombardy from NT$9,906

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Curno escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Curno a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
