Flights to Cuddington, Northwich from NT$15,778

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Cuddington. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cuddington in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
