Flights to Brentford, London from NT$4,456

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Brentford could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here 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:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Brentford easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents 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 set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil 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), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 and will be confiscated.
