Flights to Castelar, Buenos Aires from NT$8,465

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castelar could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Castelar, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
