Flights to Kimbell, Canterbury from NT$46,370

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kimbell could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Kimbell, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
