Flights to Poynings, Brighton from NT$1,953

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Poynings in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Poynings easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
