Flights to Longview, Alberta from NT$2,692

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Longview could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Longview a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
