Flights to Dundee, New York from NT$17,960

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Dundee.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

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

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
