Flights to Benadalid, Andalusia from NT$7,953

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Benadalid before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling 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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Benadalid a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible 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 pack them in your checked baggage.
