Flights to Son Parc, Mercadal from NT$46,626

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Son Parc could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Son Parc a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
