Flights to Torreira, Murtosa from NT$2,493

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

• First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Torreira quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
