Flights to Sittingbourne, England from NT$2,791

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sittingbourne could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sittingbourne in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
