Flights to Shotts, Scotland from NT$5,915

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

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Shotts, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close 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-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
