Flights to Candelero Arriba, Humacao from NT$14,018

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Candelero Arriba could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Candelero Arriba in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually 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, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
