Flights to Kingman, Alberta from NT$2,393

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kingman could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kingman, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be 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 valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
