Flights to Latexo, Crockett from NT$37,466

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Latexo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Latexo in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
