Flights to Carballo, Galicia from NT$7,126

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Carballo could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Carballo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail 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-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
