Flights to Arbo, Galicia from NT$10,143

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Arbo could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Arbo, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, 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 have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
