Flights to Windsor, Otago from NT$7,977

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Windsor could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Windsor, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
