Flights to Lupton, Carnforth from NT$25,211

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lupton could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lupton in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
