Flights to Scotch Grove, Monticello from NT$26,105

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Scotch Grove in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Scotch Grove, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
