Flights to Ribes De Freser, Catalonia from NT$17,788

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Ribes De Freser.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ribes De Freser in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
