Flights to Roslyn Estates, Roslyn from NT$19,120

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Roslyn Estates could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• The result of lengthy 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 lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Roslyn Estates in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
