Flights to Gorey, County Wexford from NT$6,080

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Gorey.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Gorey, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? 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 keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
