Flights to El Foyel, Río Negro from NT$31,845

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in El Foyel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to El Foyel a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
