Flights to Mold, Wales from NT$61,029

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Mold. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mold in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
