Flights to Boimorto, Galicia from NT$6,754

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Boimorto.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Boimorto in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
