Flights to Coin, Andalusia from NT$4,973

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Coin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Coin a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
