Flights to Hungerford, England from NT$4,942

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Hungerford escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hungerford in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
