Flights to Lawers, Aberfeldy from NT$2,129

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lawers could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lawers in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
