Flights to Penjamo, Guanajuato from NT$19,184

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Penjamo vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Penjamo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
