Flights to Ford, Berwick-upon-Tweed from NT$1,998

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ford could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Ford, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
