Flights to Escalante, Cantabria from NT$9,069

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Escalante could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Escalante in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
