Flights to Arouca, Aveiro District from NT$6,592

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Arouca vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Arouca, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
