Flights to Arjona, Andalusia from NT$5,541

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Arjona vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Arjona easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• 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.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
