Flights to Pauna, Boyacá from NT$11,245

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Pauna escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pauna in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
