Flights to Mirano, Venice from NT$21,291

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Mirano vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Mirano, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
