Flights to Fuente Obejuna, Andalusia from NT$5,174

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your Fuente Obejuna vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fuente Obejuna in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
