Flights to Linton, Cambridge from NT$6,379

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Linton could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

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

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
