Flights to Leigh, England from NT$18,432

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Leigh escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Leigh a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
