Flights to Tacna, Arizona from NT$17,433

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tacna could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Tacna easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite 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-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 on board.
