Flights to Maro, Nerja from NT$10,270

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Maro in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel 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:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Maro in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
