Flights to Farrera, Catalonia from NT$4,076

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Farrera could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Farrera quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
