Flights to Millesimo, Liguria from NT$30,021

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Millesimo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Millesimo in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
