Flights to Ancroft, Berwick-upon-Tweed from NT$6,437

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ancroft could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Ancroft, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 in the cabin.
