Flights to Valdemoro, Madrid from NT$10,770

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Valdemoro escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Valdemoro quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
