Flights to Vila-Seca, Catalonia from NT$4,902

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Vila-Seca could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vila-Seca in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
