Flights to Clifford Chambers, Stratford-upon-Avon from NT$6,665

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Clifford Chambers. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Clifford Chambers a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
