Flights to Penkridge, Stafford from NT$2,164

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Penkridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Penkridge before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
