Flights to Bray, Maidenhead from NT$2,107

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Bray vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Bray a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
