Flights to O Grove, Galicia from NT$3,635

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to O Grove could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to O Grove in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
