Flights to Norton, Faversham from NT$2,294

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Norton in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Norton in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
