Flights to Newcastleton, Scotland from NT$5,979

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Newcastleton could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

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

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
