Flights to Heckfield, Hook from NT$14,530

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Heckfield escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

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

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
