Flights to Sandia Park, New Mexico from NT$12,315

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Sandia Park vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Sandia Park easy and painless. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
