Flights to Paradise, Texas from NT$6,931

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Paradise in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Paradise, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• 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 zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
