Flights to Trevignano Romano, Lazio from NT$2,601

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Trevignano Romano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• 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 improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Trevignano Romano in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
