Flights to Saldana, Castile and León from NT$19,559

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Saldana escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Saldana, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
