Flights to Almonaster la Real, Andalusia from NT$4,730

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Almonaster la Real vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Almonaster la Real in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
