Flights to Wyre, Scotland from NT$49,346

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Wyre escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Wyre, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
