Flights to Gressan, Valle d'Aosta from NT$3,881

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Gressan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gressan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
