Flights to Glen Of The Downs, Delgany from NT$5,035

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Glen Of The Downs vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Glen Of The Downs, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
