Flights to Fluno, Mordano from NT$23,543

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

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Fluno, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
