Flights to Church Creek, Cambridge from NT$6,291

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Church Creek could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Church Creek, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
