Flights to Campana, Buenos Aires Province from NT$7,627

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Campana. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Campana a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
