Flights to Eastriggs, Annan from NT$7,883

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Eastriggs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Eastriggs in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite 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-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
