Flights to Cocula, Jalisco from NT$2,257

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cocula could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cocula in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
