Flights to Leini, Turin from NT$8,757

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Leini.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Leini, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
