Cheap Flights to Taxco from CA $186

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Taxco before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Taxco in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
