Flights to Greencastle, Omagh from NT$26,989

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Greencastle vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Greencastle before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
