Flights to Sawbridgeworth, England from NT$3,460

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Sawbridgeworth vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

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

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sawbridgeworth in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
