Flights to Rockwell, Paris from NT$8,841

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Rockwell escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Rockwell a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• 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.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
