Flights to Kingston, Fochabers from NT$2,649

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kingston could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kingston in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
