Flights to Ribas de Sil, Galicia from NT$5,412

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ribas de Sil could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ribas de Sil easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
