Flights to Thorpe On The Hill, Lincoln from NT$52,854

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Thorpe On The Hill.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Thorpe On The Hill, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
