Flights to Puerto Bogotá, Bogotá from NT$11,778

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Puerto Bogotá vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, 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 aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Puerto Bogotá in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
