Flights to London, Ohio from NT$5,107

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in London before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to London easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
