Flights to Shotton Colliery, Durham from NT$6,559

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Shotton Colliery in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shotton Colliery in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
