Flights to Charallave, Caracas from NT$62,272

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Charallave escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Charallave quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
