Flights to Cuevas del Campo, Andalusia from NT$7,522

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Cuevas del Campo vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cuevas del Campo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
