Flights to Ardee, County Louth from NT$5,020

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Ardee. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ardee, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
