Flights to Warwick, England from NT$8,207

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Warwick escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Warwick quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
