Flights to Paramo, Santander from NT$16,020

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Paramo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Paramo in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
