Flights to Ensenada, Baja California from NT$7,305

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ensenada vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Ensenada quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
