Flights to Espinaredo, Tineo from NT$24,814

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Espinaredo vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Espinaredo in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
