Flights to Morpeth, England from NT$4,328

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Morpeth vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Morpeth in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, 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-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
