Flights to Picinisco, Lazio from NT$7,196

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Picinisco. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Picinisco in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
