Flights to Trentinara, Campania from NT$26,204

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Trentinara.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

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 the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Trentinara a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container 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 valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
