Flights to Sandhurst, England from NT$4,449

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sandhurst could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Sandhurst, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
