Flights to Lurgan, Craigavon from NT$40,175

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Lurgan vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Lurgan easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
