Flights to Brighouse, England from NT$19,060

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brighouse could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Brighouse quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
