Flights to Hermosillo, Sonora from NT$77,506

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Hermosillo vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• The result of 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 staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Hermosillo a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
