Flights to Las Pozas, Sayaxché from NT$6,133

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Las Pozas vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Las Pozas in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
