Flights to Son Ferriol, Palma de Mallorca from NT$2,044

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Son Ferriol escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring 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 luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Son Ferriol a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
