Flights to Larbert, Scotland from NT$3,225

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Larbert could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Larbert in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• 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 clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
