Flights to Knighton, Wales from NT$20,469

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Knighton could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Knighton in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
