Flights to Crockerton, Warminster from NT$20,722

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Crockerton escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Crockerton, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
