Flights to Morales, Corporales from NT$2,253

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Morales could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand 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 aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Morales before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 and will be confiscated.
