Flights to Ourense, Galicia from NT$39,070

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Ourense vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Ourense a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine 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 coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
