Flights to Sestao, Bilbao from NT$5,530

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sestao could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Sestao a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. 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 laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
