Flights to Hope Valley, England from NT$27,008

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Hope Valley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hope Valley before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
