Flights to Jamundi, Cali from NT$83,189

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Jamundi vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Jamundi, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
