Flights to Cromdale, Grantown-on-Spey from NT$33,423

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cromdale could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cromdale in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? 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 fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
