Flights to Houghton Conquest, Bedford from NT$3,054

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Houghton Conquest could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Houghton Conquest in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
