Flights to Gibbons, Edmonton from NT$2,111

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Gibbons in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Gibbons easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
