Flights to San Martín Jilotepeque, Chimaltenango Department from NT$7,938

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in San Martín Jilotepeque.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Martín Jilotepeque in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
