Flights to Pardilla, Castile and León from NT$19,666

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Pardilla. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Pardilla quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
