Flights to Santa Teresita, Buenos Aires Province from NT$7,282

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Santa Teresita.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Teresita in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
