Flights to Madeley, Telford from NT$4,105

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Madeley could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Madeley a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
