Flights to Verde, Arroyo Grande from NT$80,617

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Verde vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Verde a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra 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 in the cabin.
