Flights to Partick, Glasgow from NT$30,420

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Partick could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform 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 Partick in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
