Flights to Loreto, Corrientes Province from NT$136,208

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Loreto vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Loreto in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. 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 in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
