Flights to Bon Accord, Edmonton from NT$20,035

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Bon Accord.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Bon Accord, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
