Flights to Monno, Lombardy from NT$3,012

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Monno escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Monno a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
