Flights to Twyford, Reading from NT$17,620

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

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Twyford a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
