Flights to Kingarth, Rothesay from NT$2,225

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kingarth could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kingarth in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
