Flights to Rocher, Tauche from NT$3,692

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rocher could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rocher in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
