Flights to Chiquimula, Chiquimula Department from NT$7,004

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Chiquimula in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chiquimula in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
