Flights to Henlow, England from NT$2,246

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Henlow escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Henlow a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
