Flights to Aird of Sleat, Sleat from NT$3,169

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Aird of Sleat could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Aird of Sleat in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
