Flights to Santa Cruz De La Seros, Aragon from NT$7,945

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Santa Cruz De La Seros could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Cruz De La Seros in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
