Flights to Burwash, Etchingham from NT$2,899

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Burwash vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Burwash, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
