Flights to Telese, Campania from NT$4,783

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Telese. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Telese a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
