Flights to Upper Hardres, Canterbury from NT$2,916

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Upper Hardres could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Upper Hardres in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
