Flights to Pamplona, Norte de Santander from NT$13,375

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Pamplona escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pamplona in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
