Flights to Oxted, England from NT$4,933

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Oxted escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oxted in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
