Flights to Carara, San José Province from NT$15,439

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Carara could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Carara, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
