Flights to Montrose, Scotland from NT$1,996

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Montrose. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montrose in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
