Flights to Antequera, Andalusia from NT$2,234

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Antequera.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Antequera in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
