Flights to Lochearnhead, Scotland from NT$2,236

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lochearnhead could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lochearnhead in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
