Flights to Montaña, Willemstad from NT$19,209

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Montaña. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Montañan easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 in the cabin.
