Flights to Carreragco, Tetela de Ocampo from NT$94,955

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Carreragco vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Carreragco in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
