Flights to La Paz, from NT$13,229

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to La Paz could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to La Paz quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
