Flights to Hartfield, England from NT$3,533

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hartfield could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hartfield before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
