Flights to Ferrol, Mimaropa from NT$1,069

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Ferrol vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Ferrol, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
