Flights to Saint Columbans, Papillion from NT$8,398

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saint Columbans could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Saint Columbans a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
