Flights to Pojoaque, Santa Fe from NT$25,956

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pojoaque could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pojoaque in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
