Flights to North Queensferry, Dunfermline from NT$1,942

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to North Queensferry could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to North Queensferry easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
