Flights to Rinconada, Valparaíso from NT$9,135

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rinconada could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Rinconada, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
