Flights to Delicias, Chihuahua from NT$21,236

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Delicias. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Delicias a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
