Flights to Talpa de Allende, Jalisco from NT$2,705

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Talpa de Allende could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive 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 baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Talpa de Allende a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
