Flights to Salinas de Pamplona, Galar from NT$23,103

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Salinas de Pamplona. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Salinas de Pamplona a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
