Flights to Linares, Andalusia from NT$4,237

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Linares in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure 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 Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Linares before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
