Flights to Norwich, England from NT$16,489

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Norwich escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Norwich in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
