Flights to Campo-Nubes, Priego de Córdoba from NT$9,180

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Campo-Nubes vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Campo-Nubes before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
