Flights to Muxía, Galicia from NT$6,180

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Muxía could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Muxía, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
