Flights to Donington, Spalding from NT$2,294

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Donington could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Donington in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 on board.
