Flights to Cala Murada, Manacor from NT$2,250

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Cala Murada vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cala Murada in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
