Flights to Seville, Marietta from NT$37,321

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Seville vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Seville a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand 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 in 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 sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
