Flights to Duxford, Cambridge from NT$2,556

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Duxford. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Duxford before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
