Flights to Sahuarita, Tucson from NT$13,511

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Sahuarita escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Sahuarita a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
