Flights to Tubac, Arizona from NT$21,880

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tubac could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans 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:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tubac quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
