Flights to Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia from NT$21,071

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Harrison Hot Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Harrison Hot Springs easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
