Flights to Rose Haven, North Beach from NT$5,540

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rose Haven could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Rose Haven a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
