Flights to Soria, Castile and León from NT$34,880

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Soria.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Soria in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
