Flights to Whithorn, Newton Stewart from NT$2,503

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Whithorn.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, 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:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Whithorn a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
