Flights to Montseny, Catalonia from NT$6,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Montseny could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Montseny, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
