Flights to Marquez, Texas from NT$32,078

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Marquez escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Marquez in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
