Flights to Istrana, Veneto from NT$2,586

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Istrana in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Istrana, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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.
