Flights to Jasper East, Alberta from NT$22,876

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Jasper East escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Jasper East, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
