Flights to Ovar, Aveiro District from NT$3,382

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ovar could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Ovar quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
