Flights to Caye Caulker, Belize District from NT$36,068

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Caye Caulker escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Caye Caulker a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
