Flights to Grand-Etang, Nova Scotia from NT$51,500

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Grand-Etang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Grand-Etang a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
