Flights to Diddlebury, Craven Arms from NT$25,430

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Diddlebury escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Diddlebury in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? 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 clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
