Flights to Gombren, Catalonia from NT$17,335

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gombren could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gombren in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• 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 it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
