Flights to Kingston, Littlehampton from NT$4,286

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kingston could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kingston in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
