Flights to Pozo Hondo, Guayama from NT$6,433

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Pozo Hondo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pozo Hondo a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
