Flights to Teba, Andalusia from NT$2,223

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Teba could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Teba in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
