Flights to Zierbena, Bilbao from NT$5,734

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Zierbena could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Zierbena, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
