Flights to Ironville, Nova Scotia from NT$38,674

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Ironville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ironville in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
