Flights to San Elizario, Texas from NT$9,701

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your San Elizario escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to San Elizario quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
