Flights to Chacao, Caracas from NT$29,762

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chacao could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• 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 drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Chacao, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
