Flights to Bosham, Chichester from NT$8,039

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Bosham.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily 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 good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bosham in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
