Flights to Rovigo, Veneto from NT$7,017

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rovigo could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rovigo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
