Flights to Hornby, Lancaster from NT$28,025

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Hornby escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Hornby easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
