Flights to Lochbroom, Garve from NT$50,532

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Lochbroom vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Lochbroom, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
