Flights to Torio, Veraguas from NT$37,230

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Torio vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Torio in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
