Flights to Celra, Catalonia from NT$19,411

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Celra could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Celra a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
