Flights to San Bartolo, Lima from NT$16,795

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in San Bartolo in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to San Bartolo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
