Flights to Duero, Central Visayas from NT$1,252

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Duero could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Duero in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
