Flights to Arzua, Galicia from NT$6,499

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Arzua escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Arzua, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style 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, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
