Flights to Round Rock, Austin from NT$7,325

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Round Rock could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Round Rock before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• 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 other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
