Flights to Knowlton, Lac-Brome from NT$5,369

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Knowlton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Knowlton, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
