Flights to Caramulo, Tondela from NT$6,709

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Caramulo could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Caramulo quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
