Flights to Panticosa, Aragon from NT$16,984

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Panticosa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Panticosa easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't 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.
