Flights to Malden, New Brunswick from NT$35,756

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Malden could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Malden, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
