Flights to Esparraguera, Barcelona from NT$7,318

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Esparraguera could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Esparraguera in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
