Flights to Fagnano Olona, Milan from NT$2,895

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Fagnano Olona escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Fagnano Olona, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? 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 on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
