Flights to Zaragoza, Central Luzon from NT$2,977

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

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Zaragoza a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
