Flights to San Lorenzo, Irimbo from NT$22,516

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your San Lorenzo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out San Lorenzo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
