Flights to San Rocco al Porto, Lombardy from NT$6,400

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Rocco al Porto could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to San Rocco al Porto a breeze. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new perfume? 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
