Flights to Caico, Rio Grande do Norte from NT$10,188

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Caico could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Caico a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
