Flights to Tarbert, Scotland from NT$25,894

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Tarbert. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Tarbert a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
