Flights to Armeria, Colima from NT$42,269

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Armeria vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Armeria a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
