Flights to Selvino, Lombardy from NT$9,541

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Selvino.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Selvino easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
