Flights to Milton Street, Polegate from NT$2,455

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Milton Street. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Milton Street easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
