Flights to Ipala, Jalisco from NT$8,863

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Ipala in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Ipala quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
