Flights to Rosseau, Seguin from NT$39,266

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Rosseau. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rosseau, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? 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-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
