Flights to Salisbury, England from NT$6,117

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Salisbury could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Salisbury, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
