Flights to Malpas, El Pont De Suert from NT$4,073

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Malpas vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Malpas in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear 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.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
