Flights to Berdun, Aragon from NT$42,850

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Berdun escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Berdun before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
