Flights to Askam and Ireleth, Barrow-in-Furness from NT$20,391

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Askam and Ireleth.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Askam and Ireleth a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
