Flights to Miraflores, Caduano from NT$9,998

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Miraflores escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive 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:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Miraflores, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
