Flights to Pieve di Cento, Emilia-Romagna from NT$19,048

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pieve di Cento could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pieve di Cento easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
