Flights to San Antonio, Tolima from NT$62,520

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Antonio could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out San Antonio, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
