Flights to Skeabost, Scotland from NT$7,287

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Skeabost in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Skeabost, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
