Flights to Cala Ferrera, Felanitx from NT$1,948

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Cala Ferrera vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Cala Ferrera a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
