Flights to Tiana, Barcelona from NT$16,140

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Tiana vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Tiana a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
