Flights to Harrold, Bedford from NT$2,945

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Harrold could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, 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:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Harrold quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No 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 on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
