Flights to Eltzaburu, Ultzama from NT$2,952

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Eltzaburu vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Eltzaburu in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite 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-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
