Flights to Drybrook, England from NT$14,500

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Drybrook. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Drybrook in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
