Flights to Earlsferry, Leven from NT$2,263

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Earlsferry escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Earlsferry a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
