Flights to Scorze, Venice from NT$4,583

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Scorze vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Scorze, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
