Flights to Paint Rock, Texas from NT$63,723

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Paint Rock vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Paint Rock in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
