Flights to Caimito, San Juan from NT$6,275

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Caimito could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Caimito, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
