Flights to Guayabal, Armero from NT$15,575

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Guayabal vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Guayabal easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
