Flights to Ansty, Dorchester from NT$6,633

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Ansty.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ansty, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
