Flights to Duns, Scotland from NT$2,134

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Duns escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Duns, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
