Flights to Roca Llisa, Santa Eulalia del Rio from NT$2,603

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Roca Llisa escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Roca Llisa a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
