Flights to Begijar, Andalusia from NT$5,050

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Begijar vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, 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 your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Begijar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
