Flights to Llano, Guayanilla from NT$17,492

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Llano escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along 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, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
