Flights to O Savinao, Galicia from NT$2,429

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in O Savinao.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to O Savinao in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight 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, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
