Flights to Arico Viejo, Arico from NT$6,106

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Arico Viejo could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Arico Viejo in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
