Flights to Trebago, Castile and León from NT$28,475

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Trebago. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Trebago in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater 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 to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
