Flights to Mission, British Columbia from NT$2,013

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mission could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Mission, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. 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, you can keep it 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 passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
