Flights to Llano Grande, Santa María Yavesía from NT$2,532

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Llano Grande escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Llano Grande a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray 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 have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• 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). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• 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.
