Flights to Feversham, Grey Highlands from NT$3,875

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Feversham escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Feversham in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
