Flights to Cloghran, Dublin from NT$3,458

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Cloghran vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cloghran in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
