Flights to San Polo di Piave, Veneto from NT$19,024

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your San Polo di Piave escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to San Polo di Piave in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
