Flights to Rosas, Buenos Aires Province from NT$10,721

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Rosas escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Rosas, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
