Flights to Linares de la Sierra, Andalusia from NT$4,440

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Linares de la Sierra.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Linares de la Sierra a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
