Flights to Hubbards, Nova Scotia from NT$17,249

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Hubbards escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hubbards in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
