Flights to Eastnor, Ledbury from NT$2,588

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Eastnor. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Eastnor a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
