Flights to Medinya, Catalonia from NT$3,597

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Medinya could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Medinya, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
