Flights to Turnberry, Girvan from NT$5,078

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Turnberry escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Turnberry, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
