Flights to Arboli, Catalonia from NT$6,891

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Arboli could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Arboli, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
