Flights to Rockwood, Michigan from NT$10,256

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Rockwood escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• 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 gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Rockwood a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
