Flights to Isleworth, London from NT$20,264

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Isleworth vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Isleworth in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
