Flights to Manaquiri, Amazonas from NT$73,150

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Manaquiri could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Manaquiri, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
