Flights to La Luisiana, Andalusia from NT$4,222

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in La Luisiana.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to La Luisiana quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
