Flights to Getaria, Basque Country from NT$15,131

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Getaria could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Getaria in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• 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 on board and will be confiscated.
