Flights to Grayshott, Hindhead from NT$18,509

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Grayshott vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Grayshott in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
