Flights to Bassano, Alberta from NT$2,068

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Bassano before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Bassano quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
