Flights to Newmarket, England from NT$2,139

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Newmarket vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Newmarket a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
