Flights to Litibú, Higuera Blanca from NT$13,442

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Litibú before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Litibú a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
