Flights to Pinedo, Valencia from NT$9,259

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Pinedo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Pinedo quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
